Rudyard Kipling is best known for The Jungle Book and his Just So Stories, which show his prowess as a writer and his mastery over words and their wonders.The Gate of the Hundred Sorrows just doesn't cut it. It was terribly written and I almost forgot who had written it. His poetry is marvellous, hi...
So, I always thought this was a novel about Mowgli and his adventures in the jungle. So I was cruising along enjoying Mowgli's adventures in the jungle, when suddenly, I came across a seal. Huh? What? How did we get to the Arctic? What does this have to do with Mowgli?Turns out, it had nothing to do...
You think you know something based on a Disney movie you watched as a kid over and over again, but you actually know nothing, cause this book is just so completely different than anything that I expected. And I loved every second of it. The first part took me quite a while to finish, cause I neede...

Bajkowo - legendarne opowieści z nutą absurdu (gadające zwierzęta) dziejące się na terenach Indii i okolicach koła podbiegunowego, z ludźmi w tle. Nie każdemu to może odpowiadać. Naj...
Książka nieco lepsza od Księgi Dżungli, głównie z sprawą większej ilości opowiadań o chłopcu wychowanym w dżungli. I podobnie jak to jest w części pierwszej mamy tu baśniowo legendarny klimat Indii z ludźmi w tle oraz jedno oderwane od tego klimatu opowiadanie ze świata Eskimosów. Jeśli ktoś polubił...

I liked that a lot, especially since my sister and I are currently working on getting my nephew...
